that is always the gold standard in science. we have exactly two controlled experiments on this. one is called korea and one is called germany. split the country in half in one goes one way and the other goes the other way and see what happens to their economic growth. and in both cases the results were extremely definitive. the problem with those experiments is n equals two and we only have two observations. and experiment with two observation is -- two is what we got. an economist at m.i.t. and harvard had a very clever idea for how to find other sort of controlled experiments. he said, let's look at the countries that were colonies of england for example. the english set up very different political and economic reasoning in the countries. let's see whether the work that has more economic freedom prospers more. while that is not really a controlled experiment because somebody could always come along and argue, well maybe the british chose the prosperous way to give the freedom to. but the other idea was this, that is not actually what happens. happened. if you look historically

growing industries in science and technology have twice as many openings as we have workers who can do the job. think about that, openings at a time when millions of americans are looking for work. it's inexcusable. and we know how to fix it. jackie bray is a single mom from north carolina who was laid off from her job as a mechanic. then siemens opened a gas turbine factory in charlotte, and formed a partnership with central piedmont community college. the company helped the college design courses in laser and robotics training. it paid jackie's tuition, then hired her to help operate their plant. i want every american looking for work to have the same opportunity as jackie did. join me in a national commitment to train 2 million americans with skills that will lead directly to a job. [applause] my administration has already lined up more companies that want to help. model partnerships between businesses like siemens and community colleges in places like charlotte, and orlando, and louisville are up and running. now you need to give more community colleges the resources they need to b

we know because of peer-reviewed science that if this were to pass and we would not have this rule go into effect, for every year it is delayed, we would see 8,100 premature deaths, 5,100 heart attacks per year, 52,000 cases of aggravated asthma. and i want to show you a picture of what it looks like when a child has asthma. what does it look like when a child has asthma and they are gasping for air and too many of our children have asthma. madam president, i don't know about you, but when i go to the schools, i ask the kids how many of you have asthma or know someone who has asthma? about 50% of the kids will raise their hands. i suggest you do that. this is our legacy. these kids, that's what we live for. that's why we are here, to make life better. so when people say we are going to save jobs, first of all, let me tell you something. if you have a heart attack that you didn't need to have, you're not going to be working. i think there is also 400,000 lost workdays per year. scientifically peer reviewed if this is delayed for every year. and it's been 20 years in the making. these p

i mean, this is not rocket science. this is about running a progrowth agenda and so that washington again doesn't inhibit the growth because as i said earlier, this country of ours does it better than anyone else. and there's a lot of people trying to copy us right now. but we got it at our core. and so let's set out a plan and let's just do it, okay? now, it's easier said than done in this town because i also have seen so much effort and attention put on the division rather than the multiplication. and we just all got to come to the fact that if we don't do this, we're not going to have the success story. and so it is about being bold. and it is all agreeing to say, set aside the things we disagree on and let's try in an incremental way year by year get to that goal of $21 million jobs. >> sometimes we look at all the jobs here for america that's great. but also in a global economy, our american workers need our share of the global economy. what that says, for example, in the southeast as it's been a little flat for us

the science was all put together by the united nations. it started way back in 1992. they developed a thing called the ipcc. the ipcc is the intergovernmental panel on climate change. it was designed in order to, i believe, cook the science to make people believe that you're going to have to do something and that co2 and anthropogenic gases were causing catastrophic global warming. we know what's happening since that time. we note what happened about climategate, the fact that they showed they did cook the science. and consequently, we introduced this legislation. this legislation merely does one thing. the legislation will take away the jurisdiction, from the jurisdiction of the e.p.a. to regulate greenhouse gases. my concern is this, yes, we were able to stop all of these bills from passing that would have been posed, a tax increase on the american people. to give you an idea of how much $300 billion to $400 billion would mean, in my state of oklahoma i keep track of the number of families that file tax returns. then i do the math. if you do the math with what it wo
